These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
of Operations

OVERVIEW

     The Company is a leading publisher, merchandiser and distributor of
consumer software. Since it commenced operations in February 1993, the Company
has experienced rapid revenue growth and its product and customer mix have
changed substantially.

     An important element of the Company's financial performance is its product 
mix which has varied over time as the Company has built its business. The 
Company's product mix has been composed of three broad product categories: (i) 
front-line published software; (ii) value-priced software; and (iii) third-party
software.  Because each of these product categories has different associated 
costs, the Company's margins have depended and will depend, in part, on the 
percentage of net sales attributable to each category.  In addition, the 
Company's margins may vary significantly from quarter to quarter depending on 
the timing of its new published product releases.  To the extent that mass  
merchants require greater proportions of third party software products, some of 
which may yield lower margins, the Company's operating results may be impacted 
accordingly.

     Through February 28, 1995, the Company was an S corporation for Federal and
New York state income tax purposes. The income tax provision for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 includes a deferred tax benefit of approximately $3.5
million due to the Company's change in tax status.

     On June 23, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of
Slash Corporation ("Slash"), a leading publisher, purchaser, repackager and
distributor of value-priced software. Historically, Slash purchased excess
inventory from major publishers and sublicensed catalog titles. It sold these
products at lower price points or repackaged these and other products into
compilation boxes, such as five-packs and ten-packs, for volume sales primarily
to mass merchants. Slash's sales of purchased excess inventory have
traditionally occurred at lower margins than its sales of sublicensed catalog
products. The Company's value-priced software business primarily consists of
sublicensed catalog titles which are sold largely to mass merchant customers.
Slash's financial results have been included in the Company's Consolidated
Financial Statements on a purchase basis for the period since the acquisition.

     On June 24, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of 
WizardWorks Group, Inc. ("WizardWorks"), a leading publisher of value-priced 
interactive entertainment, edutainment and productivity software. WizardWorks 
publishes and distributes consumer software developed by external developers 
for Windows, DOS and Macintosh formats.

     On June 28, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of 
Candel, Inc., the parent company of FormGen Corp. ("FormGen"), a leading 
publisher of interactive entertainment PC shareware and software.

     WizardWorks and FormGen (collectively the "Acquired Companies") have each
been accounted for as a pooling of interests, whereby the Company exchanged
3,382,777 newly issued shares of its common stock for all the outstanding shares
of the Acquired Companies' common stock. Accordingly, the Company's Financial
Statements for the six months ended June 30, 1995 have been restated to include
the results of the Acquired Companies.

     Sales are recorded net of expected future returns which historically have 
been experienced and reserved for at approximately 30% of gross sales.

     The consumer software industry is seasonal.  Net sales are typically 
highest during the fourth calender quarter and are typically lower during the 
second calender quarter.  This seasonality is primarily a result of the 
increased demand for consumer software during the year-end holiday buying 
season.

</TABLE> 

     Net sales for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996 increased
approximately $41.7 million or 138% and $76.5 million or 119%, respectively, as 
compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1995. This growth in net 
sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was primarily 
attributable to the introduction of newly published front-line titles, such as 
Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Rider, Gender Wars, Kingdom O'Magic and Duke 
Nukem 3D, the continuing strong sales of Doom and Doom-related products and the 
expansion of the Company's value-priced line of software. In addition, an 
increase in the number of mass merchant stores supplied and serviced by the 
Company, an increase in the shelf space available to the Company from its 
existing mass merchant customers and an increase in sales from its existing mass
merchant shelf space contributed to the growth in net sales. The purchase of 
Slash by the Company effective June 23, 1995 and the increase in the 
distribution of third party software also contributed to the growth in net 
sales. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company 
released Just Me & My Dad and Vikings: Strategy of the Ultimate Conquest.

     Cost of goods sold primarily includes costs of purchased products and 
royalties paid to software developers. Cost of goods sold for the three and six 
months ended June 30, 1996 increased approximately $23.7 million or 136% and 
$45.3 million or 125%, respectively, as compared to the three and six months 
ended June 30, 1995. Costs of goods sold as a percentage of net sales for the 
three months ended June 30, 1996 decreased to 57.1% from 57.6% for the three 
months ended June 30, 1995. This decrease was primarily due to a change in 
product mix toward the Company's higher margin published front-line and 
value-priced products, which increased to approximately 50% of net sales during 
the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to approximately 32% during the 
three months ended June 30, 1995. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, 
cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased to 58.0% from 56.5% 
for the comparable period of the prior year. This increase was primarily due to 
a change in product mix driven by mass merchants for third party software 
products which yielded the Company lower margins. The percentage increase was 
partially offset by a shift in the overall Company mix toward the Company's 
higher margin published front-line and value-priced products, which increased to
approximately 52% of net sales during the six months ended June 30, 1996 
compared to approximately 44% during the six months ended June 30, 1995.

                                    Page 9
<PAGE>
 
     Selling and distribution expenses primarily include shipping expenses, 
sales and distribution labor expenses, advertising and promotion expenses and 
distribution facilities costs.  These expenses increased approximately $10.8 
million or 202% and $18.6 million or 171% during the three and six months ended 
June 30, 1996, respectively, compared to the comparable periods of the prior 
year.  The increase was due to the additional advertising costs to support the 
growth of the Company's published products and an increase in shipping costs 
attributable to the overall increase in sales volume.  In addition, costs 
associated with the expansion of the Company's sales and distribution staff and 
distribution center increased to support its growth.  Selling and distribution 
expenses as a percentage of net sales for the three and six months ended June 
30, 1996 increased to 22.5% and 21.0%, respectively, compared to 17.7% and 17.0%
during the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively.

     General and administrative expenses primarily include personnel expenses,
facilities costs, professional expenses and other  overhead charges. These
expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 increased
approximately $1.8 million or 46% and $5.5 million or 75%, respectively, as
compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was due
primarily to the expansion of the Company's operations. General and
administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996 decreased to 8.1% and 9.1%, respectively, from 11.4%
and 13.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively.

     In the near term, selling and distribution and general and administrative 
expenses are expected to rise, reflecting additions to the sales, distribution, 
operational and administrative infrastructure associated with the Company's 
anticipated growth.  These expenses are expected to decline over time as a 
percentage of the Company's net sales, though there are no assurances to this 
effect.

     Merger costs consist of legal, accounting and other professional fees 
incurred by the Company to complete the acquisition of WizardWorks and FormGen.

     Interest and other income, net increased approximately $.8 million and 
$2.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as 
compared to the comparable periods of the prior year.  This is primarily 
attributable to greater short-term investments and cash balances.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of June 30, 1996, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included 
cash and short-term investments of approximately $69.7 million.  Cash used in 
operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1996 amounted to 
approximately $18.2 million as compared to cash provided by operating activities
of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  This decrease is  
attributable to the internally generated funds used to support the Company's 
growth and fluctuations in relative levels of receivables, inventory, royalty 
advances, accounts payable and income taxes payable.  The relative level of 
inventory to accounts payable as of June 30, 1996 increased compared to June 30,
1995 primarily as a result of the timing of sales and the scheduled payment of 
the accounts payable.

     The Company believes that existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term 
investments together with cash expected to be generated from operations, will be
sufficient to fund the Company's anticipated operations for the next twelve 
months.
